I have been using SuSe Linux for a few months now, but only recently joined the Security List. I have been horrified to see the amount of scanning etc which goes on., and confess to have been shown to be totally ignorant as far as system security is concerned. I suspect that I may not be much at risk..but would appreciate comments and guidance where appropriate. I am running a single work station at home. Networking is set up for ppp conection to the internet., only. I have a dynamic IP. Is there much chance of intrusion in my system,? Are most attacks targeted? Is there anything I should be doing to minimise risk.
